Big announcement on 6 music tues breakfast show

[Zoo Music Girl]

Was surprisingly easy to get tickets for this! My friends and I all got through instantly (I'm putting it down to our years of experience for Glastonbury tickets).

I am going to see The National and Wild Beasts in Manchester! Woohoo!

Congrats.

In the cold light of day I realised most, if not all acts I was bothered about were probably gonna be at Glastonbury or another summer festival so I decided against it.

I checked See out at noon anyway though and it seemed in lockdown so I thought it might have been a difficult one. Not a lot of dialogue in here though, am I to assume people forgot or didn't bother or missed out or are just quietly celebrating?

Damn I forgot all about this at 12..

Darn.

You know what, you're probably right about them being at Glastonbury, but being a The National obsessive and ticketless I couldn't not go for this! Very excited.

Yeah, we were all refreshing from five minutes before it started

I'm surprised there's no one else in here chatting about it though too - seemed a lot of interest the other day.

People probably forgot like me..

Quietly Celebrating. Hard luck if you were unsuccessful.

Oh no! Such a shame!

Do you not have the eFestivals news app on your phone? I did news at 11am to remind everyone!

No just the forum app.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Got mine, Albarn alone for £25 is value for money.

[paulomas]

got tickets for both nights. well excited!

[sadimmock]

Got through just before they went on sale but it wouldn't let me purchase a ticket and dumped me back into the queue. Aftern that I got nowhere near until about 7 minutes past, by which point my phone reported that both dates were sold out.

Am rather disappointed to see the number of tickets for sale on Stub Hub. Ho Hum.

[KrisP]

I got Friday but not Saturday. I have a couple spare if anyone would like a swap?

Brother bailed on it last night so I didn't bother

I have it, are we supposed to get a notification when you post news? Because I didn't get one (don't think I've ever got one...this is the android version btw!)

Seems people were complaining about tickets as 6Music's twitter was mentioning about touts? Don't know why they didn't do the photo tickets like they do for big weekend? Especially since they are charging anyway.

[TheNewUnion]

3 of us trying at work, all of us got through at the same time and got 8 tickets between us. I didn't intend to go really, but got caught up in the "ticket day" excitement. So now I have to decide if I'm going and if so who with!

Mine's a pint of wine.

If you have the app running then yes you should get an alert - I didn't on my old android phone for some reason, but I do on the one I have now.

[Ruwise]

I got tickets for both days too. Looking forward to it. It is great value for the money. I know a lot of them will play Glastonbury and I already have tickets to see Haim, Bombay Bicycle Club and have seen a few others already but hopefully it will help me out when it comes to clashes in June.

I would, but I'm afraid all the wine is all for me

Hope to see you down the front though, National boy.

Got mine for the Saturday. I've never seen The National before - bought Alligator in celebration

I've only seen them once but you are in for a treat! Alligator... What an album.

[Barefooted_raver]

I was lucky enough to get Saturday tickets!

Who should I see out of James Blake and The National? I haven't had a chance to listen to The National yet but I have heard people on these forums raving about them! Any tips on best tracks/ albums to start checking out?

Jagwar Ma is going to be immense. I am already meant to be seeing them in Manchester later in the year.

Seen both The National and James Blake and both were really good, but personally I'd see The National. That's purely because I prefer them, though, so it may not be the case for yourself.

I saw James Blake last year and it wasn't good. Some of my friends saw him a different time and also said he wasn't good.
